Zakharchenko: Donetsk expects full-scale war in near future

In the near future, the Ukrainian Armed Forces intend to go on the offensive across the contact line between Ukraine and the Donetsk People’s Republic, DPR leader Alexander Zakharchenko said yesterday during an online conference.

“We expect another aggravation, to call it gently, in the nearest future. Our intelligence reports that the opposite side is completely ready to opt for full-scale combat operations,” the DPR leader said.

Zakharchenko emphasized that “fists,” or concentrations of enemy troops, “are being formed at key fronts.” “Well, we are waiting for them”, the leader concluded.
